A decorative serif with an oldstyle foundation and a consistent rightward slant. Strokes show moderate contrast with softly tapered joins and prominent, bracketed serifs that often flare into triangular or wedge-like feet. Many letters feature curled terminals and ear-like hooks (notably in C, E, S, and several lowercase forms), giving the outlines a carved, slightly calligraphic feel. Proportions are lively and uneven in an intentional way: counters are generous, bowls are rounded, and several glyphs (such as W, w, and Q) have distinctive, ornamented constructions that add texture to the line.
Best suited to display roles where its ornamented terminals and distinctive serif shapes can be appreciated—headlines, titles, book covers, posters, and branded packaging. It can also work for short editorial callouts or pull quotes, but its lively detailing makes it less ideal for dense, small-size body text.
The overall tone is classic but playful—evoking vintage printing, fairy-tale titles, and editorial display typography with a touch of eccentricity. The italic slant and curled terminals create a sense of motion and personality, reading as expressive rather than strictly formal.
The design appears intended to reinterpret traditional serif forms with expressive, curled terminals and a deliberately characterful rhythm. It aims to deliver a recognizable, decorative voice while retaining the underlying structure and readability of a classic serif italic.
In the sample text, the strong terminal shapes and pronounced serifs create a dark, textured rhythm that becomes more decorative as size decreases. Uppercase letters feel particularly emblematic and logo-friendly, while the lowercase maintains the same spirited, embellished terminal language for continuous text settings.
